UML25 — Modeling Individuals

  • Key: UML25-221
  • Legacy Issue Number: 17765
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: INCOSE ( Sanford Friedenthal)
  • Summary:

    Why is instance specification not included?

  • Reported: UML 2.4.1 — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 04:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — UML 2.5
  • Disposition Summary:

    Value specifications are mentioned as a means to model objects, but it would make more sense to use
    instance specifications here instead, since that is the most common why to explicitly model objects in UML.
    (An instance specification is not itself a value specification, though an instance value, which is a kind of
    value specification, can reference an instance specification and an instance specification can have its value
    specified by a value specification.)
